An article
coauthored by Dr. Timothy Ireland, a professor of criminology and
criminal justice at Niagara University, has been selected as one of
the 10 best violence research publications of 2011 by the Psychology
of Violence multidisciplinary research journal.

A five-person
panel of senior researchers was convened by Dr. Sherry Hamby, the
journal's editor, to choose the 10 articles that they believe
represented the best violence research that was published in 2011.

"Intergenerational
continuities and discontinuities in intimate partner violence: A
two-generational prospective study," coauthored by Dr. Ireland and
four colleagues, was cited by Dr. Jacquelyn White, a psychology
professor at the University of North Carolina.

"This study is
exemplary on the theoretical and methodological fronts, as well as
for the insights it offers into prevention efforts," White
commented. "The authors did a nice job of describing support for
the hypothesis as well as presenting opposing views."

The list appears
in the July 2012 edition of Psychology of Violence.
